Abstract

The invention discloses a distributed multi-robot dynamic network connectivity control method, and belongs to the technical field of multi-robot dynamic network control. The method comprises minimum spanning tree distributed dynamic network topology control based on event drive and optimal neighbor communication link connectivity maintaining motion control based on a local artificial potential field. Each robot node periodically broadcasts the location thereof and updates neighbor information, the local minimum spanning trees of the neighbor networks of the nodes are established in a distributed manner, an optimal neighbor is selected, and the communication link with the optimal neighbor is maintained through a local artificial potential field method, so that global information connectivity is optimized and optimal network communication cost is achieved on the basis of maintaining the connectivity of the multi-robot dynamic network. There is no need for a center node to perform calculation in a centralized way, and distributed and parallel implementation can be carried out, so that the communication load is reduced, and the scalability and robustness of the multi-robot network are enhanced. The problem of communication link interrupt caused by robot motion can be overcome.
